Baby Boy Bonanza

Today is the first of three baby boy cards I have to make for babies born in due in the next few weeks. I also have a card for a baby shower.....but I'm working on something a little bit different for that!

This is for my son's friend Jurgen and his partner, congrats to them on the arrival of Hendrix.

I used paper my other son bought me from Starfish Lane, and Kaisercrafts "Homemade" collection, I coloured the bluebird (which was grey) with my B02 Copic. The image is from Digi Doodle Shop and is called Sleeping Infant. Next time I use this image for a boy I may remove the bows and flowers. I coloured the image a little darker than "usual" for a baby image, and the flowers aren't TOO obvious so I think I got away with it this time.

I bought the little buttons in Spotlight, I'm building up my collection of this size as I find them the most useful (there's quite a range, so it may take some time to get them all!) The cute little feet are on a ribbon, that came from my local cake decorating shop - they have a great range: it goes to show there is potential EVERYWHERE! You can't see much of it - originally I was going to put it where the trellis is at the bottom of the image, but I cut the paper at the top of the card a bit short!! I like how this turned out anyway.
